About this course

You will build a genuine lettering practice using pointed pen, brush pens, and faux calligraphy — no experience required. Every lesson focuses on repeatable drills and real techniques drawn from both traditional copperplate and modern lettering. By the final module you will have a portfolio piece and a solid understanding of how to price and sell lettering commissions.
